`(r + 3s)^6` Use the Binomial Theorem to expand and simplify the expression.

We have to use the binomial theorem to expand the expression, so use the formula:


`(a+b)^n=sum_(k=0)^n((n),(k))a^(n-k)b^k`


`:.(r+3s)^6=((6),(0))r^(6-0)(3s)^0+((6),(1))r^(6-1)(3s)^1+((6),(2))r^(6-2)(3s)^2+((6),(3))r^(6-3)(3s)^3+((6),(4))r^(6-4)(3s)^4+((6),(5))r^(6-5)(3s)^5+((6),(6))r^(6-6)(3s)^6`


`=r^6+(6!)/(1!(6-1)!)r^5(3s)+(6!)/(2!(6-2)!)r^4(9s^2)+(6!)/(3!(6-3)!)r^3(27s^3)+(6!)/(4!(6-4)!)r^2(81s^4)+(6!)/(5!(6-5)!)r^1(243s^5)+729s^6`


`=r^6+(6*5!)/(5!)(3r^5s)+(6*5*4!)/(2*4!)(9r^4s^2)+(6*5*4*3!)/(3!*3*2*1)(27r^3s^3)+(6*5*4!)/(4!*2*1)(81r^2s^4)+(6*5!)/(5!)(243rs^5+729s^6`


`=r^6+18r^5s+135r^4s^2+540r^3s^3+1215r^2s^4+1458rs^5+729s^6`

How does the choice of details set the tone of the sermon?

Edwards is remembered for his choice of details, particularly in this classic sermon. His goal was not to tell people about his beliefs; he ...
